We booked our Hạ Long Bay cruise through this agency and the whole experience was smooth from start to finish. Everything was organised really well including transfers, cruise booking and timing. Communication was clear and quick which made planning the trip very easy. The cruise itself was incredible. The limestone islands, the views and the activities made it one of the most beautiful experiences in Vietnam. The food on board was also great and everything ran exactly as planned. Highly recommend booking your Halong Bay cruise through them if you want a stress free and well organised experience.

From transfers and clear communication to the breathtaking limestone islands and onboard dining, it’s wonderful that everything unfolded exactly as planned. Your kind recommendation means a lot — thank you for trusting GADT Travels 💛.
Firstly what I loved about the tour is the transport provided. I think that’s the first impression of the tour agency when I board for my day tour. Very good tour operator, understanding and accommodating. Loved the lunch spread on the cruise and the whole experience was beautiful.

A really good day out for those who don’t want to spend the night at Halong Bay. Phong is a great guide, the food was good and plenty to fill the day. Would highly recommend. The speed boat trip was also well worth the money.
Amazing experience, thank you gadt travel
We’re delighted to know your Vietnam trip with GADT was such a beautiful experience. Thank you for trusting us and sharing your kind words — they’re a wonderful encouragement for our team 💛
Positives: Excellent tour guide and bus driver. The tour guide was very knowledgable and informative on areas on the way to Ha Long Bay; The Ha Long Bay tour was very enjoyable, as was the added speed boat tour; Negatives: We were the only passengers outside of the Old Quarter, so we had to take a Grab to/from a hotel in the OQ. All the other passengers were picked up in the OQ, that added almost an hour to the front and end of the tour. It would have been more fair for all passengers to meet at one central location. By the way, only one out of 8 groups of passengers tipped the guide & bus driver. We tipped 300,000 VND; The lunch buffet was a clusterF. Guests from another group cut in line. In addition, the food selection was not very good. The Happy Hour reception was weak with limited food & drink; I would not recommend this tour to someone staying outside the OQ. It adds almost two hours to your total time, and you have to factor your transpiration to/from the OQ.
Thank you very much for sharing both the positives and negatives of your Ha Long Bay trip with us. Your feedback is truly valuable as it helps us understand where we are doing well and where we need to improve to bring better experiences in the future. Based on your comments, we would like to clarify point by point: - Pick‑up & drop‑off: Free pick‑up is arranged for hotels located within the Old Quarter. For hotels outside this area, there may be an extra charge or guests are advised to come to the designated meeting point shown in the package details. In your case, the operator arranged Pan Pacific Hotel as the nearest meeting point from Sheraton Hanoi, so taking a Grab/taxi was necessary. - Tips: Tips for the driver and guide are not included in the package. It is completely at guests’ discretion depending on their satisfaction with the service. - Lunch buffet: The meal is served in buffet style with a variety of options. As there are many tourists, sometimes crowding or line‑breaking can occur, though we always try to manage it as best as possible. - Sunset party: As mentioned in the package, wine, fruits, and tea are provided for guests to enjoy on the cruise deck. We sincerely appreciate your honest review and will continue working to improve logistics and dining arrangements so that future travelers have smoother experiences.
Booked our year end Vietnam trip ( Hanoi and Da Nang) for seven days with GADTtravels . Alice was the coordinator and she helped right from day 1 in booking hotels till providing various options to chose our itinerary. She listened to our various needs and expectations and helped us with a perfect plan including domestic flight options. The hotels were in prime locations and the guides and travel arrangements were spot on. Absolutely worth the price . All the tour guides were right on time and ensured we covered all the places and activities. They also went out of their way to accommodate any requests . Will recommend Gadt and Alice to my friends as well.
